I work with all ages including children as young as 3 yrs old.
I am knowledgeable in helping clients who are experiencing distress in their marriage. I am training as a level 3 therapist in the Gottman Method of couples therapy. If you are questioning whether it's even worth the effort, why not consider giving it one last chance. Maybe there is something worth saving after all. Don't allow conflict the opportunity to destroy your outlook on life. Anxiety and depression becomes the focus instead of enjoying your engagement with your significant other. Let's work on getting that connection back starting today? Call or go to https://www.abccounselors.com

Christians often struggle with depression, anxiety, addictions or other issues. These struggles can led you to feel as if you are defective or damaged beyond God's ability to repair. This couldn't be further from the truth. Nothing is impossible with God, and even our deepest wounds and behaviors that fill us with shame and guilt are not beyond reach for his healing. Often, Christians struggle to find a counselor who shares their world view and can understand their beliefs and needs. Sometimes, you can become discouraged by others around you who are trying to help, but don't have the training to help you obtain needed healing.

Feeling stuck? Are you in the grips of anxiety, trapped in the depths of depression, or oscillating between both? Trouble with making decisions, relationships, focusing, functioning in daily life, giving or receiving love, or engaging in activities that were once part of your everyday routine? Are you self-medicating through substances or behaviors that are leading you down a harmful path? The truth is, when we experience trauma, especially if it occurs early in life, our nervous system can become stuck in survival states—whether it's heightened in hyperarousal or diminished in hypoarousal. I would love to help you finally heal.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Viera, FL provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time, while the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in Viera build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
